Hey, I did try searching for this answer but couldn't find anything... I have ordered 21.5" iMac (late 2012) with the fusion drive (1GB) option... What I am wondering is, if I run some Linux distro as a VM, will it be able to access the OSX files off the fusion drive (as the fusion is handled by OSX). For example, I need to copy a file from my mac, onto an external drive formatted in NTFS (I know there are write drivers available), I can switch to Linux and use it to read from fusion drive (HFS+) and write to NTFS...? Right? Any help/advice appreciated. Thanks
I have not tried this, as I do not have access to a Fusion drive, however I would imagine that to Mac OS the drive is presented as a standard partition, and as such I would expect your VM to work the same on a Fusion drive as a non-Fusion drive. I think you are confusing drives/partitions with file systems?
